SIXTH ANNUAL JAtt
SON COUNTY FAIR
HUGE SUCCESS
In many and most respects the
best and most brilliant event of it's
kind ever attempted in Jackson
County was the sixth annual Fair
which closed here Saturday even
ing. The more noteworthy features
were the splendid exhibits of cattle
and hogs, the one man's farm dis
play by Mr. H. R. Snyder and the
lovely display of needleerafv in the
Woman's Work Department. Of
particular note was the exhibit of
cattle ond hogs, the fin ?st exhibit
of cattle ever seen from one county
bei?g on display. The only depart
ment that failed to rival or surpass
that of former years was the apples
the shortage of the apple crop this
year accounting for the idscrepancy.
The entire event was well worth
while.
The Fair opened Tuesday morn
ing immediately following the ar
rival of the wesibound train, when
the parade was formed near the
depot and, led by chief Marshall S.
W. Enloe, the band and the Wood
men of The World, proceeded to
the Fair Grounds where the opening
address was delivered -in his own
peculiar and graceful style by Prof.
0. S. Dean of the Cullowhee Normal
and Industrial School. The text
of Prof. Dean's remarks was co-operation
and progress. The large
crowd listened as the words of
wisdom fell frou the lips of Prof,
of Prof. Dean as he plead for
close co-operation between the
people of the town and the
county in a concerted action for
the progress of all, in all thi lgs
that are for the best for communi
ty life of a people. Ha praised the
Jackson County Fair as being rn
instrument that is bringing this to
be and urged the people to hearty
support of the county fair move
ment. Tuesday evening the first of a
series of three games played be
tween the Sylva and Canton base
ball teams. It proved to be the
fastest, and best played game ever
witnessed on the local diamond.
Bryson pitched for Sylva and the
Sylva team won by the score of
7 to 3.
Wednesday morning the gates
were opened at 9:30 and the large
crowd entertained itself examining
the wonderful exhibits and seeing
the numerous attractions until 11

defeated the Sylva aggregation by
tne small score of 3 to 2.
Wednesday evening the third
and last game was played and Syl
va captured the series with Ensley
in the box pitching brilliant bill.
, Thursday it rained, rained in
bucketfulls, rained in sheets rained
through the principal streets of Syl
va to the Fair Grounds
inspiring sight this procession ofj
ciear minded, light hearted boys
and girls, preparing to be the pro
gressive citizens of the county. :
The first thing on the program!
of the county Commencement was
the declamation contest, ihe win
ner ot which was Ora Matlock of
the Webster High School. The
spelling match followed and the
successful contestant was Caery
ln OI the Willets School.
men came the recitation contest
in which little Miss Clara Rogers
oi Webster School won the medal.
The athletic events came in the
afternoon. Clinton Sutton of Weh-
ster won the 100 yard dash, Grover
Martin of Qualla, the 220, Gilbert
Parris of Dillsboro the Dole vault
and Miss Maggie Nations of Qualla
the potato race.
The program of the county com
mencement was an interesting on
and the contestants from all th
schools acquitted themselves well.
It is a pity, however that verv fpw
people who attended were able to
see or hear the events of this char
acter because of the confusion and
noise of the midway.
Following the events of the
county commencement came the
fist ball game between Sylva and
the Cherokee Indians. Bryson
pitched for Sylva and the Indians
were easily defeated to the tune of
8 and 2.
Owing to the extremely incle
ment weather on Thursday and in
response to popular demand the
Fair was continued throngh Satur
day. Again the exhibits took
11101 anu tne crowd never
tired of looking them ever until 4
o'clock in the afternoon when thp
Cherokee Indians and Sylva aain
crossed bats. At first this appear
ed as if this Would be a closely
contested game and for a time thp
Indians had a lead on the Sylva
team, but m the seventh innind
-"".li-if-,
the Sylva crowd struck a batting
streak and put it all over Whitetree
trie Indian pitcher. Ensley Sylva's
new pitcher, again distinguished
nimseit. Ihe final score was 7 to
3-
